[Verse 1] Buffet opens seven-thirty, sun is coming off the sea, somebody’s saving lounge chairs, somebody’s drunk by three. Captain says the weather’s perfect, band is playing by the pool, then something tears across the deck that definitely isn’t on the cruise. Three long claws against the tile, tail goes whipping past the door, bartender drops a frozen drink— “...Was that a fucking dinosaur?” [Pre-Chorus] Lock the doors. Get inside. Don’t go near the starboard side. [Chorus] VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Everybody get below! VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! They figured out which way the elevators go! CLEVER GIRL! CLEVER GIRL! She’s already through the hall! CLEVER GIRL! CLEVER GIRL! She just learned to climb the wall! Cabin doors are getting tested, something’s scratching down the hall— VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Nowhere left to go at all! [Verse 2] One went through the casino, one is somewhere near the spa, one was seen behind the curtain at the karaoke bar. Security formed a perimeter. They didn't stand a chance, Someone yelled, “They hunt in packs!” the boys in blue shit their pants Now they’re stalking through the kitchen, silver trays across the floor, everybody packed inside the freezer while it sniffs underneath the door. [Pre-Chorus] Keep it quiet. Kill the light. Something’s breathing just outside. [Chorus] VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Everybody get below! VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! They figured out which way the elevators go! CLEVER GIRL! CLEVER GIRL! She’s already through the hall! CLEVER GIRL! CLEVER GIRL! She just learned to climb the wall! Cabin doors are getting tested, something’s scratching down the hall— VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Nowhere left to go at all! [Bridge] There’s nowhere to run to. That’s the beautiful part. Four thousand people on a floating food cart. No jungle. No fence. No vines to climb. Just twelve decks of passengers and nothing but time. The lifeboats look inviting, but nobody wants to learn whether velociraptors swim. [Breakdown] DECK ONE — CLEAR! DECK TWO — CLEAR! DECK THREE— Never mind... THEY’RE HERE. [Final Chorus] VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Everybody get below! VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Now the captain doesn’t know where the bodies should go! CLEVER GIRL! CLEVER GIRL! She’s waiting by the stairs! CLEVER GIRL! CLEVER GIRL! And now there’s two of them there! Pool deck empty, lights are flashing, deck chairs scattered everywhere— VELOCIRAPTORS ON THE CRUISE SHIP! Whatever knocks— DON’T OPEN IT.
